A/C When To Repair or When To Replace?

The question of when is the “correct” time to replace your air conditioning unit rather than repairing it is not one that comes with a simple answer.

The age of the AC unit is just one part of the question.  How long are you going to stay in your home.  Are you ready to move somewhere else?  Some air conditioner failures leave you no choice but to replace your unit.  When the repair costs are most of the way to the price of a new unit, the choice can be very simple.

If your existing air conditioner is more than 10 years old it is not as efficient as a new unit will be.  This comparison is expressed as the SEER rating.  Your old unit could be 12 SEER or lower and your new unit could be as high as 19 SEER.  In general the higher the SEER rating the more the unit will cost.  But, all new units should be 14 SEER and above.  The bottom line of the SEER rating is that the higher the SEER rating the lower the actual cost for running the unit.

Older units have only one type of cooling cycle.  That run at full power only.  New units can come with  dual stage cooling.  On a warm day they will save electricity and money by running with reduced power consumption.

Consider that putting on a brand new unit can also allow the purchase of a repair contract and warranty combination that will reduce or eliminate any maintenance or repair costs for the next five or ten years.

Another item to consider is that older units tend to be nosier than the newer one.  Light sleepers are often awakened by their old units coming on during the night.

If your summer electric bills are high, or getting higher, it’s likely due to your old air conditioner running inefficiently.  If repairs are becoming common, your old A/C may be on its last legs, and the repair bills can quickly add up to the cost of a new system. On the other hand, if you have kept the A/C regularly maintained each year, you can probably trust it to last longer.

Do you or a family member have a health issue that is affected by high temperatures?  If so you want to make sure that your air conditioner needs to be as reliable as possible.  A replacement unit will tend to help with the up-time ratio.

Arizona Places: Canyon de Chelly

You would think that by late September you could begin to talk about cool places that one could visit in the Valley of the Sun, the Phoenix Metro area.  But this weekend the weather forecasters are saying we will again have triple digit temperatures, with Monday being in the 106° range.  So we still have to keep the AC running full time.

So we are going to keep you looking north to find great cool days.  A visit to Canyon de Chelly will cool you off by 20° or so.

Canyon de Chelly (də·shā′) National Monument was established on April 1, 1931 as a unit of the National Park Service. It is located in northeastern Arizona within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation.

Reflecting one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America, it preserves ruins of the early indigenous tribes that lived in the area, including the Ancient Pueblo Peoples (also called Anasazi) and Navajo. The monument covers 83,840 acres (131 square miles) and is comprised of the floors and rims of the three major canyons: de Chelly, del Muerto, and Monument. These canyons were cut by streams with headwaters in the Chuska mountains just to the east of the monument.

Canyon de Chelly is unique among National Park service units, as it consists entirely of Navajo Tribal Trust Land which remains in the ownership of the Navajo Nation and is home to the canyon com-munity, while park matters are administered by the National Park Service. Access to the canyon floor is restricted, and visitors are allowed to travel in the canyons only when accompanied by a park ranger or an authorized Navajo guide. The only exception to this rule is the White House Ruin Trail.

The park's distinctive geologic feature, Spider Rock, is a sandstone spire that rises 750 feet from the canyon floor at the junction of Canyon de Chelly and Monument Canyon. Spider Rock can be seen from South Rim Drive. It has served as the scene of a number of television commercials. According to traditional Navajo beliefs the taller of the two spires is the home of Spider Grandmother.

Most park visitors arrive by automobile and view Canyon de Chelly from the rim, following both North Rim Drive and South Rim Drive. Ancient ruins and geologic structures are visible, but in the distance, from turnoffs on each of these routes. Deep within the park is Mummy Cave. It features structures that have been built at various times in history. Tours of the canyon floor can be booked at the visitor center and at lodgings in the vicinity of the canyon. There is no fee to enter the canyon, apart from any charges imposed by tour guides.  Website: http://www.nps.gov/cach/index.htm

Accommodations for visitors are located in the vicinity of the canyon, on the road leading to Chinle, which is the nearest town.  The National Monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1970.

Cooling and Comfort In Commercial Buildings

The use of comfort cooling is growing rapidly around the world.  Most landlords of commercial premises are very aware of the importance of being able to provide good indoor climate conditions for existing and new tenants.  At the same time, occupants are becoming increasingly aware of the requirements that can be posed in respect of the indoor environment.

The indoor environment consists of many parameters.  However, the one that an occupant of an office building notices immediately is the thermal climate.  It has long been accepted that the indoor temperature must not be too low: increasingly, there is pressure that it should not be too high, either.

Various types of comfort cooling system are being installed, both in new building projects and in connection with conversion or renovation.  This provides an overall review of the systems used today in order to distribute cooling throughout a building.  Note, however, that the methods of ‘producing’ the cooling are dealt with only in brief.

The prime requirement in respect of the indoor climate in a building is that room temperature should be at a comfortable level, regardless of the weather conditions outside.  In addition, the indoor air must be acceptably clean, lighting and acoustic conditions must be good etc. Nevertheless, the first and foremost condition for a building to be usable at all is that the indoor temperature is acceptable.

As the requirements in respect of room temperatures are given, the capacity of the cooling system is determined largely by the amount of heat that it must be capable of dealing with.  In general terms, the greater the heat surplus, and therefore the greater the capacity of the cooling system, the more difficult it is to produce an indoor climate that is good in all respects.  It is therefore always important to attempt to design the building in general so that there will be only a low heat surplus.  To do this requires, in turn, an overall approach to the building, to its services systems and to the activities carried on in it.

The commonest way of producing cooling is to use conventional electrically-driven mechanical cooling equipment.  However, alternative methods include evaporative and desiccant cooling.  Larger installations may also have cooling produced by thermally-powered absorption chillers.  District cooling systems have been built, or are being built, in a number of larger towns.  In principle, they operate in the same way as district heating systems, except that it is cold water, rather than hot water, that is distributed.

When Is It Time For A Heating System Tune-up?

Yes, I know that while it is officially fall here in Arizona the temperature was 106° yesterday.  It may seem a bit out-of-place to start talking about your heating system.  It will be time soon, so why not start the dialog today.

Most heating systems here in the Valley of the Sun are powered by either natural gas or electric as part of your air conditioner.

If your heat comes from your air conditioner it isn’t true that if your air conditioner is running right that that means the “heating” side of your heat pump is also ready to go.  It is not just a matter of sliding the switch from “cool” to “heat” and forget about it.

If you have a separate furnace then you want to make sure it is checked before you start the gas flowing and start up the gas burners.

A heating system check-up now will ensure that the heat will click on when you want it to.

Furnace Check-up
A furnace check-up or tune-up is much like a visit to the doctor or taking your car to a mechanic. However, specifically in the case of your home, a furnace check-up consists of the following steps:

Inspect thermostat for proper operation.

Inspect filter and change or clean as needed.

Check all electrical components and controls.

Lubricate motors and pulleys as needed.

Inspect heat exchanger for possible cracks. A crack in the heat exchanger will introduce carbon monoxide into the living space.

Check air flow. If diminished, it may be necessary to clean the evaporator coil.

Check air fuel mixture, where appropriate.

The History of Air Conditioning

Air conditioning is the process of altering the properties of air (primarily temperature and humidity) to more favorable conditions. More generally, air conditioning can refer to any form of technological cooling, heating, ventilation, or dis-infection that modifies the condition of air.

An air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a major or home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to change the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling and sometimes heating depending on the air properties at a given time). The cooling is typically done using a simple refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation is used, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles. In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation and air conditioning is referred to as "HVAC".

The basic concept behind air conditioning is known to have been applied in ancient Egypt where reeds hung in windows had water trickling down. The evaporation of water cooled the air blowing through the window, though this process also made the air more humid.

In Ancient Rome, water from aqueducts was circulated through the walls of certain houses to cool them down. Other techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the hot season.

The second century Chinese inventor Ding Huan of the Han Dynasty invented a rotary fan for air conditioning, with seven wheels 9.8 ft in diameter and manually powered. In 747, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had the Cool Hall built in the imperial palace, which the Tang Yulin describes as having water-powered fan wheels for air conditioning as well as rising jet streams of water from fountains. During the subsequent Song Dynasty, written sources mentioned the air-conditioning rotary fan as even more widely used.

Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in metallurgy and chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1911 by Willis Haviland Carrier. The introduction of residential air conditioning in the 1920s helped start the great population migration to the Sunbelt.

Arizona Places: Meteor Crater

Are you looking to get away this weekend to a cool northern Arizona place.  Why not check out a great big hole in the ground. Just over two hours away is the most well known, best preserved meteorite crater on Earth!

The world’s best preserved meteorite impact site just minutes from Interstate 40 in Northern Arizona near Winslow. Meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between a piece of an asteroid traveling at 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago.

Today, Meteor Crater is nearly one mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 550 feet deep. It is an international tourist venue with outdoor observation trails, air conditioned indoor viewing, wide screen movie theater, interactive discovery center, gift and rock shop, and Astronaut Memorial Park at the Visitor Center located on the crater rim.

Meteor Crater's "Collisions And Impacts" movie allows viewers to experience the thunderous sound and explosive fury of the meteor's super-heated trip through the Earth's atmosphere. Then, the spectacular result of the collision that rocked the American Southwest with the energy of more than 20 million tons of TNT can be explored first-hand just outside the Visitor Center at Meteor Crater Arizona.

Guests to Meteor Crater may also put on their walking shoes for a 1/2 mile guided foot tour of the crater rim which leaves the Visitor Center every half hour between 9:15am and 2:15pm, weather permitting.

Meteor Crater is located off I-40 at exit 233, then 6 miles south on the paved road. 35 miles east of Flagstaff, 20 miles west of Winslow, in Arizona.

Getting Your Humidity Under Control

Whether it is summer or winter, the proper amount of humidity in the home is vital to ensure your indoor air quality and comfort.  In Arizona the typical problem is humidity that is too low for the comfort and safety of quality wooden furniture.

While humidity doesn't show itself the way a leak does, there will be telltale signs of humidity being too high, such as condensation on windows in the winter or sweating toilet tanks in the summer that indicate a need to get your humidity levels under control.

Humidity being too low has very few signs in the short term.  Your skin and hair will show the effects first.  But cracks forming in your furniture will be very slow to form, though be far more expensive.

While we can't control the outdoor humidity levels, your air-conditioning system is designed to keep the proper humidity level in the home by first dehumidifying the indoor air before reducing the air temperature. When the humidity inside your home is too high, the thermostat may say it is 72 degrees, but it will feel much warmer.

You need to keep the humidity level in your home 30 and 40 percent in the to maximize your comfort.

All Arizona homes need a little humidification help year round. The best way to check the humidity level in the home is by using a hygrometer, which you can find at most hardware stores. If it registers too high or too low, you need to run equipment that will control the humidity.

Look for an Energy Star-rated, ultra-low-temperature dehumidifier. Some quality brands are DeLonghi and Whirlpool.

If your bathroom gets really humid when you take a shower, try a DewStop exhaust fan switch, www.dewstop.com, designed to automatically control condensation.

While lowering humidity is the better way to stay cool in the summer, the reverse is true in the winter. While no one is thinking about winter right now, it won't be long before the furnace is cranking and your home is closed up tight. As a result, your home will feel as dry as the Arizona desert if you don't control the humidity levels.

Once again, it is best to keep your home's humidity level at 30-40 percent for ultimate comfort depending on the outdoor temperature. The proper humidity will make you feel warmer.

Preventive Maintenance or Wait For Failure

Preventive maintenance can be described as maintenance of equipment or systems before fault occurs. It can be divided into two subgroups:

     • planned maintenance
     • condition-based maintenance. 


The main difference of subgroups is determination of maintenance time, or determination of moment when maintenance should be performed.

The primary goal of preventive maintenance is to prevent the failure of equipment before it actually occurs. It is designed to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by replacing worn components before they actually fail. Preventive maintenance activities include equipment checks, filter replacement, partial or complete overhauls at specified periods, lubrication and so on.

While preventive maintenance is generally considered to be worthwhile, there are risks such as equipment failure or human error involved when performing preventive maintenance, just as in any maintenance operation. Preventive maintenance as scheduled overhaul or scheduled replacement provides two of the three proactive failure management policies available to the maintenance engineer.

Common methods of determining what Preventive (or other) failure management policies should be applied are; OEM recommendations, requirements of codes and legislation within a jurisdiction, what an "expert" thinks ought to be done, or the maintenance that's already done to similar equipment, and most important measured values and performance indications.

There are multiple misconceptions about preventive maintenance. One such misconception is that PM is unduly costly. This logic dictates that it would cost more for regularly scheduled downtime and maintenance than it would normally cost to operate equipment until repair is absolutely necessary. This may be true for some components; however, one should compare not only the costs but the long-term benefits and savings associated with preventive maintenance.

Why wait for a failure to occur? Schedule your Preventative Maintenance visit at least once a year to assure the problem free operation of your air conditioner.

Looking for a great place to get Preventive Maintenance on your AC unit? Give Aaron’s Mechanical Service a call at 623-388-4436.

Late Summer HVAC Failures

We have all made it through the really hot (110 plus) days of summer and now that the high 90s and just over 100 means that our AC unit will keep running till next year.

I wish I could say that is the case.  But, even though your AC unit is running a bit less often it runs just as hard at 100 as it does at 110.  Even when the temperatures are just in the 90s your Air Conditioner’s compressor is still doing the same work and stands the same risk of failure or problems.

Even at 95° you house can reach in the low 100s inside and that is a very dangerous temperature.  While the elderly and children are at the greatest risk from heat sickness other people whose health may be compromised are at risk as well.  Your weight and overall physical condition can also increase your risk of heat related complications.

A heat-related illness is a medical condition that may occur as a result of heat exposure. Even short periods of high temperatures can cause serious health problems. Heat-related illness encompasses a spectrum of conditions that range from minor illnesses to life-threatening medical emergencies. There are several heat-related illnesses, including heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat rash.

Signs and symptoms of heat-related illness vary based on the condition, but may include an elevated body temperature, headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, fainting, muscle cramps, seizures, confusion, and coma.

Treatment for heat-related illness generally includes moving the individual out of the hot environment, implementing cooling measures as needed, rest, and rehydration.

Prevention of heat-related illness is best accomplished through proper planning and preparation, such as increasing fluid intake, wearing appropriate clothing and sunscreen, remaining in a cool environment, acclimating yourself to the hot environment, and using common sense.

So don’t wait give Aaron’s Mechanical Service a call if you have an AC problem. Aaron’s Mechanical Service’s number is 623-388-4436.

9/11 Memorial Museum

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is the principal memorial and museum commemorating the September 11 attacks of 2001, and the World Trade Center bombing of 1993.

The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site, on the former location of the Twin Towers destroyed during the attacks. The World Trade Center Memorial Foundation was renamed the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center in 2007.

The winner of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York and San Francisco based firm. Michael Arad worked with landscape architecture firm Peter Walker and Partners on the design which calls for a forest of trees with two square pools in the center, where the Twin Towers once stood.

In August 2006, the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began heavy construction on the memorial and museum. The design is consistent with the original Daniel Libeskind master plan that called for the memorial to be 30 feet below street level (originally 70 feet) in a piazza. The design was the only finalist to throw out Libeskind's requirement that buildings overhang the footprints.

A memorial was planned in the immediate aftermath of the attacks and destruction of the World Trade Center to remember both the victims and those involved in the rescue attempts. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center is a non-profit corporation with the mission to raise funds for, program, own and operate the memorial and museum at the World Trade Center site. On September 11, 2011, a dedication ceremony was held at the memorial, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

The memorial officially opened to the public on September 12, 2011, while the museum was planned to open one year later, on or around September 11, 2012. Three months after opening, the memorial had been seen by over 1 million visitors. In 2012, Tuesday's Children, a non-profit family service organization that has made a commitment to individuals directly impacted by September 11th and to those who have lost loved ones to terrorism around the globe, has partnered with the 9/11 Memorial to offer private tours to family members of 9/11 victims and First Responders.

The 9/11 Memorial and Museum Foundation, which controls the memorial and museum, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the World Trade Center site, say they hope the museum will now open by the end of 2013, although no completion date is actually set.

We at Aaron’s Mechanical Service would like to take a moment today to honor those who died in 9/11, their families, and the heroes who helped in rescue and relief. Never forget!

The Right Way To Treat A/C Repair Customers

Well, you might think this would be a very short article.  How should we treat our Air Conditioning repair customers?  Heck, how should all businesses treat their customers.  We, at least, think that is a one word answer… fairly!

We think that we should treat our customers just exactly the same way we want to be treated in any business deal… fairly!

If we want a customer who hires us to repair their HVAC Unit to call us again in the future, how should we treat them… fairly!

If we want a customer who hires us to repair their A/C Unit to recommend us to their family, friends and neighbors how should we treat them… fairly!

We think that we should treat our customers just exactly the way they want to be treated in all types of transactions… fairly!

What Is Air Conditioning?

Air conditioning is the process of altering the properties of air (primarily temperature and humidity) to more favorable conditions. More generally, air conditioning can refer to any form of technological cooling, heating, ventilation, or dis-infection that modifies the condition of air.

An air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a major or home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to change the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling and sometimes heating depending on the air properties at a given time). The cooling is typically done using a simple refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation is used, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles.

In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation and air conditioning is referred to as "HVAC".

The basic concept behind air conditioning is known to have been applied in ancient Egypt where reeds hung in windows had water trickling down. The evaporation of water cooled the air blowing through the window, though this process also made the air more humid. In Ancient Rome, water from aqueducts was circulated through the walls of certain houses to cool them down. Other techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the hot season.

Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1911 by Willis Haviland Carrier. The introduction of residential air conditioning in the 1920s helped start the great migration to the Sunbelt.

Speaking of getting something started, if you have an AC problem you should be calling Aaron’s Mechanical Service a call at 623-388-4436.

Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day

Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and athletic events.

In 1882, Matthew Maguire, a machinist, first proposed the holiday while serving as secretary of the CLU (Central Labor Union) of New York. Others argue that it was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May 1882, after witnessing the annual labor festival held in Toronto, Canada.

Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday in 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day.filed with Reyes, leader of the labor movement. Fearing further conflict, the United States Congress unanimously voted to approve rush legislation that made Labor Day a national holiday; Cleveland signed it into law a mere six days after the end of the strike. The September date originally chosen by the CLU of New York and observed by many of the nation's trade unions for the past several years was selected rather than the more widespread International Workers' Day because Cleveland was concerned that observance of the latter would be associated with the nascent Communist, Syndicalist and Anarchist movements that, though distinct from one another, had rallied to commemorate the Haymarket Affair in International Workers' Day. All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the territories have made it a statutory holiday.

The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and spirit of corps of the trade and labor organizations", followed by a festival for the workers and their families. This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the civil significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parties. Speeches or political demonstrations are more low-key than May 1 Labor Day celebrations in most countries, although events held by labor organizations often feature political themes and appearances by candidates for office, especially in election years. Forms of celebration include picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays, water sports, and public art events. Families with school-age children take it as the last chance to travel before the end of summer recess. Similarly, some teenagers and young adults view it as the last weekend for parties before returning to school, although school starting times now vary.
